Purpose and Coverage, Meetings

   This affiliated Killifish Club is organized for the purpose of learning about killifish, their management, maintenance and breeding. The club draws its members from Ohio as far north as the Dayton and Columbus areas, from the Metropolitan Cincinnati area, and from as far south as central Kentucky.  

Meetings are held (approximately) quarterly and, when possible, alternate between the Cincinnati and Dayton areas. Visitors are always welcome. For further information on the club, and regarding the dates and locations of upcoming meetings, please contact Tom Payne, Donna Recktenwalt, or club president Doug Singer.

Useful Links

Many of our members maintain a variety of fish in addition to killifish, and have interests that encompass other areas of the hobby. This is a list of sites that have proven to contain information or graphics of interest to aquatic hobbyists in general. The list tends to change without notice, just as do the contents of the world wide web.
